2020 marks the end of an important period of Swiss energy research, which was driven by the ‘Swiss Competence Centers on Energy Research (SCCER)’ funding and networks. The upcoming event will focus on the developments regarding Thermal Energy Storage during this period and will give room for both reflection and envisioning ways towards a sustainable energy future.
Together with national and international participants, stakeholders, politicians and speakers we reflect the importance and role of Thermal Energy Storage within the energy transformation.
